How does that work?

Someone has set up the routing to 162.252.205.157 so that it passes through many other address which they control (162.252.205.130 through to .157) the reverse DNS for, and customised them in the appropriate order: $ dig -x 162.252.205.142 +short a.murder.would.be.nice.of.course.

> we have geolocation API which uses latency triangulation and does not suffer from those issues Who is "we"? I'd like to test drive a service like that.

You can send me email to janusz@speedchecker.xyz or through contact us page on www.speedchecker.xyz We operate large scale testing platform which can ping from many locations so we can triangulate better, demo here - http://www.maplatency.com

Sorry about the rate limit issue everyone. I tweeted the ipinfo guys and it seems like they're willing to give me a limit increase, but they haven't yet. You can give them a nudge here: https://twitter.com/ipinfoio/status/861701746158170112

Also, if you want to self-host the website (and thus get your own ipinfo ratelimit quota), it seems like the Google Maps API now requires you to get an API key (it didn't before). Get one here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/...
